Lawyer Shoutout & More rights for my fellow hunters
I would like to pass along my thanks to Greg Dunn of Dunn & Associates here in Calgary. I found myself in need of his services unexpectedly after an interaction with a conservation officer. Greg is a fellow hunter, just like the rest of us and not one of those lawyers who takes himself too seriously. He is however, capable and creative and I have him to thank for helping me (and us) out. (Apparently us hunter types rarely use lawyers/fight against CO's/gov't. I'm glad I did).
AND as part of this story, the great news for ALL hunters in Alberta is that you now have more constitutional rights (or perhaps more accurately, they have been legally recognized).
In basic terms, we mounted a constitutional challenge as to the legality of randomly stopping people without....
..."reasonable suspicion" that an individual had been engaged in an activity covered by the Act in order to lawfully stop the a vehicle."
And WON.
A happy, legal and safe hunting season to you all...
